Kevin Knox II set a season-high with 21 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 3FG, 3-4 FT) tonight against Utah. It is his third game in a row setting a new season-high in scoring (11 points vs SAC [11/20], 17 vs DEN [11/22]), and his first 20+ point game since April 3, 2019. – 11:42 PM

Malik Beasley: Honestly, it just sucks. I think we’re a way better team than them. But tonight they were better than us, they wanted it more. This was the most important game of the season so we didn’t lose two in a row. – 11:42 PM

Never saw this coming. Kevin Knox rebirth with the #Pistons. Back to back very solid games for him and both dubs for the team. – 11:28 PM

Will Hardy: Pistons came out hungry, we did not. We rallied in 2H, played well, except for timely turnovers. We’ve played with a chip on our shoulder this season — didn’t think we had it in 1H. – 11:27 PM

I didn’t think the Pistons would beat Denver AND Utah this week, but this is what I was getting at after the Kings loss when some people thought the sky was falling. It was an encouraging L considering the injuries, and here we are. Pistons are playing their best ball right now. – 11:26 PM

Nikola Jokic started yesterday as “doubtful” after being in the league’s health and safety protocols. He went on to play 79:53 between the loss to Detroit and tonight’s OT win over OKC. In the two games combined, he put up 70 points, 19 rebounds and 19 assists on 23-31 FG – 11:23 PM

Wow. After going 18 games without a road win, the Pistons beat Denver and Utah on B2B nights 10 days into a road trip. Just noting this: Detroit didn’t get its fifth win last season until Game 29. Got it on Game 20 tonight. Still a ways to go, but great showings in the altitude. – 11:20 PM

Jazz lose 125-116 to Pistons.
Beasley had 29 points. Sexton had 17 points and 12 assists. Clarkson had 24 points.
Jazz will fly tomorrow to Golden State, then play the Warriors on Friday, then Suns on Saturday. – 11:20 PM

The Jazz fall to the Pistons 125-116 in possibly Utah’s worst performance of the season defensively. They allowed the Jazz to dictate the terms of the game from the opening possession. Utah falls to 12-8 on the season. On to Friday and the Golden State Warriors – 11:20 PM

FINAL: Pistons 125, Jazz 116. Bojan Bogdanovic with 23p/5r/3a in his return to SLC. For the Jazz, double-doubles for Beasley (29p, 11r, 5a) and Sexton (17p, career-high 12a). After a scoreless 1H, Markkanen finished with 13p/8r. Jazz are back on the road: at GSW and PHX. – 11:19 PM

Jazz down 8 with 23 seconds left. That’ll do it.
Just a bad defensive game for the Jazz… a 130 DRtg. Some of it Pistons shotmaking, a whole lot of it avoidable, though. – 11:16 PM

JC tried to generate contact on a quick 3, didn’t get the whistle, and that’ll pretty much do it. Jazz will drop a second straight game, fall to 12-8 on the season. – 11:14 PM

Just a beat too late on the pass from Clarkson to a slipping Olynyk, and Ivey makes a nice play for the steal from the weakside to end it. The kind of play they haven’t made since Conley went out. – 11:14 PM

Lauri Markkanen and Jalen Duren got into it over not letting go of what would become a jump ball. Then Beasley and Sexton got involved. Honestly surprised no T’s were assessed.
Then, to make it worse, Duren clocked Markkanen in the face (accidentally) on the actual jump ball. – 11:08 PM

Jazz are within 113-108 with 4:19 to go — which is pretty astounding since they have 14 turnovers leading to 27 Detroit points. Still, Markkanen has found his groove — 13p on 4-5 FGs in 2H. – 11:04 PM

Seems like every trip down the floor the @Utah Jazz have to try to solve a major problem to figure out where their offense is going to come from.
Have to think that’s the absence of Mike Conley, and an offense not recognizing what’s worked throughout the night. – 10:58 PM

Fontecchio gets a rebound, then makes the ill-advised decision to push it downcourt, trying to go 1-on-3. He gets dispossessed from behind, Diallo finds Knox, and he buries his 5th 3-pointer of the game. He’s up to 17p, and Detroit’s lead expands to 110-101 with 6:52 to go. – 10:56 PM

Kevin Knox, sheesh. Fouled Fontecchio on a 3-point attempt, allowing Utah to cut the deficit to three. Responded with a pair of free throws and a 3-pointer. He has 14 points and is 4-5 from 3. Third-straight game in double figures – 10:53 PM
